Germany’s capital has a turbulent history, much of it occuring in the 20th century thanks to the brutal Nazi regime, WWII and the Cold War.

It’s a city that has reinvented itself and become the German capital of cool.

Did you know?

You can still see parts of the original wall. Head to the East Side Gallery: stretching for more than a kilometre, this part of the wall is graced with street art and is a monument to the reunification of the city and the world’s largest open-air mural collection.

And for a quirky Berliner experience, head to Mauerpark for some Bearpit Karaoke – that’s a concrete ampitheatre where locals queue up to have the honour of singing karaoke to huge crowds every Sunday.
